Error description
Bad DWARF debug data generated by the compiler. INSPLOG item names are given incorrect shift codes and cannot be displayed correctly. This happens when compiling with PARMCHECK and using the debugger in batch mode to issue LIST commands
Local fix
Do not compile with the PARMCHECK option.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling * * programs with the PARMCHECK compiler option * * in effect and then debugging those programs * * with the IBM Debug for z/OS debugger. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Bad DWARF debug data generated by the * * compiler. An example symptom of that is * * when using the debugger in batch mode * * to issue LIST commands, INSPLOG item * * names are given incorrect shift codes * * and cannot be displayed correctly. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF * **************************************************************** The compiler generated incorrect DWARF information for a special memory wall symbol added to the end of the working-storage section due to use of the PARMCHECK compiler option.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to generate correct DWARF information for the special memory wall symbol added to the end of the working-storage section due to use of the PARMCHECK compiler option.
